                  CHILD MEDICATION SAFETY ACT OF 2005

                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                           HON. MIKE FERGUSON

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 15, 2005

  Mr. FERGUSON. Mr. Speaker, specifically pertaining to H.R. 1790, the 
Child Medication Safety Act, I firmly believe that parents should have 
the final say about the administering of medication to their child. I 
agree with the legislation's main intent to prohibit school personnel 
from requiring a child, as a condition of attending school or receiving 
services, to obtain a prescription for a controlled substance or a 
psychotropic drug.
